"When Hani, an Egyptian diplomat under Akhenaten, is sent to investigate the murder of a useful bandit leader in Syria, he encounters corruption, tangled relationships, and yet more murder. His investigation is complicated by the new king's religious reforms, which have struck Hani's own family to the core. Hani's mission is to amass enough evidence for his superiors to prosecute the wrongdoers despite the king's protection--but not just every superior can be trusted. And maybe not even the king!"--Page 4 of cover.… (más)

One of the most enjoyable historical novels I've read, and ancient Egypt isn't really my "thing". Definitely a series to continue reading. (

This book is the first of the Lord Hani Mysteries. It is a fantastic book. Hani is a character that has his hands full and can still deal with a mystery. The book is full of amazing drama and mystery. I am a fan of this author due to the research she puts in. This story takes place in Egypt during the time of Pharaohs, and it is so accurate. The plot just flows along so smooth. It’s an exciting adventure that I had a good time going on. I’m looking forward to reading more in the series. I recommend you give this series a shot. (

Excels in crafting a sense of place... It will especially delight mystery readers who want more than a simple whodunit.

The central mystery contains abundant twists, which lead to a satisfying and surprising conclusion. A fine mystery tale that explores the relatable troubles of a conflicted investigator.

Hani sparkles with life... Holmes uses evocative language and seamlessly weaves in minute details about Egyptian social hierarchies, religious beliefs, family dynamics, material culture and politics. Readers will find themselves illuminated by their stay in this heady — if treacherous — realm.

Hani and Maya are instantly likeable protagonists, and there are enough twists, turns, and court intrigues to satisfy all lovers of historical mysteries. Holmes’s writing is simultaneously colorful and informative, blending vivid depictions of Hani’s surroundings with subtle cultural histories presented mostly without judgement. Readers will find it hard to put down this tale of ancient intrigue.
